Campylocentrum neglectum (Rchb.f. & Warm.) Cogn.

Campylocentrum, Sp.
Pilcomayo River (1552). January.
Common on trCes in the Pilcomayo forests. The stems run along
the trunk, throwing out long roots, lateral flowering branches, and
other stems at intervals. Leaves narrow lanceolate, 4-7 cm. long.
Flowers in lateral spikes, 2-ranked, each under a small bract; the
ovary slender, 6-8 mm. long, surmounted by a purplish perianth
about 2 mm. long, the segments acute; the spur short, blunt,
turned. Many of the long white-corticated roots dangle in the
for 10-18 cm., giving a strange, straggling appearance to the plant.
